CONTROVERSIAL: Chris Sutton quickly criticized Everton following the announcement of Sean Dyche’s dismissal.
Chris Sutton has criticized Everton for sacking Sean Dyche just hours before their FA Cup match against Peterborough United.
The Toffees announced the departure of the 53-year-old on January 9, leaving them without a manager for the third-round tie against the League One side.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions across the footballing world, with former striker Sutton taking to X (January 9) to express his disapproval of the move.
He commented: “Good plan that. Sean Dyche is better off out of it.”
Sutton’s Criticism of Dyche’s Sacking
The news of Dyche’s dismissal came as a surprise on Thursday evening, especially with the match so close to the announcement.
Despite facing points deductions and limited transfer funds, Dyche had managed to keep Everton competitive in the Premier League and secure safety at Goodison Park. However, this achievement has not carried over into the current season.
While Dyche’s efforts in ensuring Premier League survival were commendable, results this season have been inconsistent, and performances often lack excitement, leading to fan discontent, particularly after the loss to Bournemouth.
It appeared that Dyche would be given more time to turn things around, as he retained his position throughout the week. However, for reasons unknown, the club’s hierarchy decided to part ways with him, a decision that, as Sutton suggests, may ultimately benefit Dyche’s career.
In other news regarding Everton, Harry Redknapp has weighed in with his thoughts on the club’s relegation prospects based on recent performances.
